Guidelines

Guidelines consist of basic legislation, international and U.S. guidelines, standards, legal restrictions relating to public health or safety, or the environment, previous impact statements, assessments, reviews and studies as well as OPIC policies and procedures concerning the identification and assessment of environmental impacts.

Frequently there are no precedents to guide the work. Incumbents use considerable judgment to interpret guidelines, to apply them or develop procedures to accomplish projects. Incumbents are recognized as a technical authority in the particular industry area for purposes of environmental assessment of OPIC-assisted projects worldwide. Incumbents are also a key resource for the development of new procedures and methodologies needed to fully assess the environmental impacts of OPIC's investments.

Complexity

Assignments include the performance of a broad range of professional duties involved in analyzing a wide variety of OPIC-sponsored finance, insurance, and investment funds projects. Incumbents analyze and evaluate these projects for the environmental impact on the host country and globally. The work requires the gathering of a wide variety of complex, technical information to determine the nature and scope of the project, interpreting voluminous data and recommending appropriate courses of action. The work is complicated by the varying degrees of environmental information and regulations in the countries in which OPIC does business.

Scope and Effect

Assignments involve responsibility for managing and carrying out environmental assessment affecting OPIC's major programs. The work impacts on the ability of OPIC to meet its goals and objectives.

Personal Contacts

Contacts are with all levels of officials at OPIC, officials at other Federal agencies and with business representatives, officials from developing countries, and environmental groups. Many of the contacts are outside of the office and issues and problems often cannot be anticipated.

Purpose of Contacts

The purpose of the contacts is to plan and coordinate work, gather information, and resolve problems.

Incumbents must show discretion and use appropriate judgment in approaching clients to ensure that projects comply with established policies and contractual agreements. Incumbents must establish a rapport with clients and other contacts to gain maximum information on projects or industries.

Physical Demands

The work is sedentary, although travel to developing countries is necessary to examine the interim development of projects and assess conformity to contractual obligations.

Working Environment

The day to day work is performed in an office. Travel to emerging markets may involve high risks and possible exposure to dangerous situations and may include primitive accommodations and means of travel.

Telework

OPIC has determined that the duties of this position are suitable for telework and the selectee may be allowed to telework with supervisor approval.

A. Clearance Requirements for Contractor Personnel:

1. Authority: Because Contractor personnel may have access under this contract to sensitive agency data and computer equipment subject to strict security controls, and/or may have access to a Federal facility/building, the clearance procedures set forth in this section are necessary and shall be used to determine the suitability of such individuals for such purposes, under the following authorities: the Federal Information Security Management Act, Title III of Pub. L. No. 107-347, which requires agencies to develop security plans for the operation of Federal computer systems that contain systems that contain sensitive information, and NIST Publication SP 800-4 (1992) (Computer Security Considerations in Federal Procurements);

the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, which requires agencies to establish procedures and safeguards to protect agency systems of records pertaining to individual; and Office of Personnel Management (OPM) regulations, relating to background investigations of contractor personnel, 5 C.F.R. Part 736. Contractor badging occurs every Wednesday. Contractor employees may begin work on any day of the week, as directed by the COR, but will not have access to information technology (e.g., username and password) until processed through the Security Office.

2. Applicability: The procedures in this section shall apply to all individuals fulfilling any of the requirements set forth in this contract.

B. Procedures:

The Contractor shall provide each employee with a copy of the procedures set in this section before or at the time that such individual applies for clearance.

1. Fingerprinting and Forms submission: Each individual employed or otherwise retained by the Contractor to perform work under this contract shall be fingerprinted at the OPIC's Security Office, and shall also submit to the Contracting Officer's Representative ('COR') one completed Optional Form (OF') 306 ('Declaration for Federal Employment,' answer Questions 1,7- 12, 15, and 16a only). The Contractor shall be responsible for all costs associated with completing the forms required by the OPIC's Security Office. Completed forms shall be submitted to the COR, without alteration or changes to said forms, at least 10 working days before the individual may begin work or be given access to any agency records, data, or information in connection with this contract.

2. Additional Forms: In addition to the above forms, individuals employed or retained by the Contractor to fulfill contract positions or duties for 180 days or more, and any individual designated to fulfill certain sensitive contract positions or duties as determined by the OPIC's Security Officer, shall be required to submit to the COR, one SF85 or SF85P (and any additional investigative forms) based on a risk determination by the OPIC Security Officer that shall take into account the sensitivity level of the contract position or duties assigned to the individual, the individual's access, if any, to nonpublic or confidential information, and any other relevant considerations. The individual must submit these additional forms to the COR at least 5 working days before such individual is scheduled to start work or to obtain access to agency records, data, or information under the contract.

3. Background investigations: The OPIC Security Office shall screen all forms for any adverse or derogatory information, as denoted, for example, by a 'yes' to questions 8-12, by additional information in Block 15 on the OF306, or by information on any additional forms that may be required, as discussed above. If the individual has any adverse or derogatory information, the OPIC shall conduct a background investigation before s/he is permitted to begin work or be given access to agency records, data, or information under this contract. The background investigation may be conducted in cooperation with or with the assistance of other relevant government agencies or entities, including, but not limited to, OPM, including referral to appropriate law enforcement authorities in the event of material falsification or other evidence of unlawful conduct. To the extent agency records pertaining to these background investigations are subject to the Privacy Act, such records shall be maintained and used in accordance with the applicable Privacy Act system notice(s) pertaining to the agency's personnel background investigations. (Note: Neither the maintenance of such records in the above-described system(s), nor the fact that this contract requires individuals to complete certain forms or submit to background investigations that may also apply to OPIC employees, shall be deemed to render such an individual a Government or OPIC employee in any manner).

If, as a result of a background investigation, significant adverse or derogatory information is found that may result in an unsuitability determination, the OPIC Security Officer shall notify the COR and the relevant individual. The individual will be notified in writing (Statement of Reasons) of the derogatory information and shall have 30 days to respond or dispute the results of the investigation. If the OPIC Security Officer, after receiving the individual's response, still determines that the individual is unsuitable to fulfill the contract position or duties in question, the individual will be notified in writing of that final determination and disqualification.

4. Suitability Determinations: The Government shall have and exercise full and complete control over these suitability determinations. The Government may, as it deems appropriate, authorize and grant temporary access and/or interim clearance to employees of the Contractor. However, the granting of temporary access and/or interim clearance to any such individual shall not be considered as assurance that a fully favorable suitability determination will follow as a result or condition thereof, and the granting of either temporary access and/or interim clearance shall in no way prevent, preclude or bar the withdrawal or termination of any such access or clearance by the Government. Failure of an individual to follow the required procedures by this contract may result in suspension/termination of such individual's OPIC clearance/access.
